Dominic West resists revealing Prince Harry’s ‘eye-wateringly rude jokes’ he made on their trip to the South Pole

Actor Dominic West, who confirmed his estrangement from Prince Harry after revealing 'too much' about their 2013 South Pole trip, has remained discreet about at least one aspect of the trip.

The Crown star refused to reveal specific details of Harry's “eye-wateringly rude jokes” at the time.

The actor had previously added “which for a non-soldier like me was quite shocking.”

Carefree Harry's X-rated jokes from a decade ago are unlikely to be described as funny thigh-slappers by Meghan.

According to The Crown, part of Harry's punishment for wearing a Nazi uniform was mucking out the stables.

For most royals that would have been a welcome relief, but Harry never shared the family's love for all things horses.

Ditto Prince Andrew, who came too late to enjoy horses due to the punishment imposed on him as a boy in the Royal Mews.

The young master, who strutted his stuff, poked the horses, and harassed the grooms, was thrown into a pile of manure (or “riots” as they call it at Buck House).

A snorting and angry prince stormed away and threatened to return with his mother to exact retribution.

The queen never appeared. Did she enjoy a giraffe at the expense of her favorite son?

Princess Diana's alleged ignorance of the Irish border – as evidenced by a 1993 diplomatic note from Ambassador Joe Small when he sent a message to Dublin saying she told him she had 'been in your country yesterday' – is being criticized by friends disputed.

They say that Diana, who had just visited Belfast, was well aware that the six provinces were separated from the Irish Republic.

“She didn't recognize the border,” says a friend. 'As far as she was concerned, Ireland was one country.'

Perky polymath Gyles Brandreth says: 'Well, I opened the gift… and it turned out to be a life-size portrait of myself, specially commissioned for my children. What was wrong with socks?'

Gyles was painted dressed as a stern-looking duke.

What are the chances of some belated honor for gongless Gyles, long-time friends of our new queen?

'They are given by God. I will take one with me to heaven,” he said.

“It would be horrible to get there and find out they're using hotel china or plastic pots.” Now you know Hendrik.

So what was Carl – Dolly Parton's virtually invisible husband – reaction when he heard rumors that she was having an affair with Burt Reynolds?

He came in with this photo of [their dog] Popeye and said, “Here's your and Burt's baby!” He has always treated these things ironically.
